What had been rumored for months now appears close to becoming a reality: Ronda Rousey is set to join the WWE.

That’s according to USA Today, which cited two people close to Rousey in reporting Wednesday that the former UFC champion is “finalizing details” of a contract with the professional wrestling company.

Rousey, who hasn’t had an MMA fight since December 2016, has offered indications that she was interested in the WWE. Reports emerged in August that she was learning pro wrestling moves, and she was spotted at the time speaking with WWE executive Triple H at a taping for an all-female tournament.

Why can't a young talent like Nerlens Noel crack the Mavericks' rotation? Apparently the former Kentucky standout just isn't trying hard enough.Dallas is unlikely to suddenly turn it around this season, which only makes it more confusing to see 23-year-old center Nerlens Noel sitting on the bench game after game. After signing a &dollar;4.2 million qualifying offer this past summer, Noel has disappeared from Rick Carlisle's rotation other than a few minutes in garbage time. He hasn't played more than six minutes in a game since logging 14 in a loss to the Timberwolves on Nov. 4.

Ronda Rousey has begun training at WWE ’s Performance Center as she gets a step closer to achieving her dream of wrestling for WWE . Previously: rousey reportedly training for WWE debut. 5 Stars Conor McGregor NEEDS To Face When He Signs With WWE .

The Ronda Rousey to the WWE rumors are starting to heat up again. According to FightFul.com, there’s mutual interest between Ronda and the WWE to join forces and the former UFC champion has reportedly started taking the first steps to learn her way inside a ring.

Rousey was ostensibly there to cheer for her friend Shayna Baszler, a former UFC fighter competing in the tournament, but she wound up in a WWE segment that was shown in September. Rousey and her friends and MMA training partners Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir were confronted by a trio of leading WWE performers in Charlotte Flair, Bayley and Becky Lynch.

No words were spoken, except by Rousey, who told the WWE stars, “Name the time. Name the place,” then added, “Oh, not today? I’ll be waiting to hear from you.”

That scene ramped up speculation that Rousey would soon be performing in the ring for WWE, on a more permanent basis than her one-off appearance at 2015’s WrestleMania 31, when she teamed with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to clash with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. It seems likely at this point that the WWE will continue a story line in which the former “Four Horsewomen” of MMA, Rousey, Baszler, Duke and Marina Shafir, tangle with the WWE’s current “Four Horsewomen,” Flair, Bayley, Lynch and Sasha Banks.

Celtic join the race for Dundee's Jack Hendry

Celtic are one of the teams interested in signing Dundee defender Jack Hendry, according to reports. The 22-year-old has been mightily impressive for Neil McCann’s side this season and is reportedly a target for a few English Premier League sides, as well at the Hoops. Crystal Palace, Newcastle United and Southampton are all apparently keeping tabs on his progress as well, so if Celtic do want to sign him, they might face a bit of a battle to get him. Hendry joined Dundee from Wigan Athletic in but only did so on a short-team deal, one that now only has has 18 months left to run. Whilst Dundee would not want to let the player go, they are reportedly set to have a meeting this week to decide whether or not to cash in on him now to boost their extremely limited funds. Back in October, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers will quick to praise the defender, dubbed “the next John Stones” after he performed well when his side faced Dundee. He said: “The boy Hendry at the back I thought was excellent. He’s quick and strong and is a good size. Scotland need centre halves and that looks like a good kid. He’s tall, he can run and he can pass. He looks a talent.” Celtic look set to add reinforcements to their back line in January and Hendry could be one of the men they look to bring in to help them look to secure another league win, as well as make an impact in the Europa League.

Duke and Shafir have reportedly also been training to cross over into pro wrestling. Their nickname with Rousey and Baszler was an homage to the Ric Flair-led “Four Horsemen” of the 1980s and ’90s.

Rousey has long been known as a big fan of pro wrestling, even as she rocketed to fame as an Olympic bronze medalist in judo and then became a dominant force in MMA. The UFC’s first female fighter, Rousey began her MMA career 12-0, usually dispatching her foes shortly into the first round, and won acclaim for her skills, looks and charisma.

However, a stunning loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193 in November 2015 punctured her aura of invincibility, and after taking more than a year to recover and attend to a burgeoning acting career, Rousey was knocked out in just 48 seconds by Amanda Nunes at UFC 207.

That will almost certainly stand as Rousey’s final MMA fight, as even UFC President Dana White has said he doesn’t expect her back in the octagon. Meanwhile, she has appeared this year on NBC’s “Blindspot,” and is filming scenes for a Mark Wahlberg movie called “Mile 22.”

MMA Weekly reported Wednesday that, as production on that film is expected to last until February, Rousey would not be a full-time member of WWE but would participate in some of the company’s most high-profile events over the coming year. That will likely include an appearance at WrestleMania 34 in April.

Everton and Spurs join chase for German starlet .
Everton, alongside Tottenham, have joined the list of clubs keeping tabs on Hamburg starlet Jann-Fiete Arp, according to the Mirror. Arp, a 17-year old striker, has attracted plenty of attention following his breakout season, where he became the first player born in 2000 to play and then score in the Bundesliga. His two strikes in five starts for struggling Hamburg have come off of the back of a highly successful youth campaign last season for both club and country. Arp scored 26 times in 21 appearances for Hamburg’s Under-17s last season, before netting seven in five for Germany at the Under-17s European Championships. He then added another five in five at the Under-17 World Cup. Chelsea were reportedly interested in signing the young German last summer and have retained an interest after his breakthrough, with Arsenal and Manchester City also said to be keen. Now Spurs and the Toffees have begun to track his progress too. Arp is contracted to Hamburg until 2019.
